ETX90 Skysafari 6 - Telescope continues to slew when motion/direction buttons released

Using SkySafari 6 Plus (iPad Pro), to control the ETX90 via SkyFi and an AutoStar #497 controller, I can operate the telescope using the motion/direction arrows that are displayed on the SkySafari screen.   When releasing the button, the telescope continues to slew, and there is no way of stopping this except for pressing a button in the opposite direction (at a slower rate in order to get it to come close to stationary).   So, it is pretty unusable.

Ideas / suggestions welcome.

- Dave.

  Dave your first post says you can't slew.  This second post now say you can.  Please do not create new posts, just update your first post.  And, in your first post please clarify whether the original issue has been resolved.
